Bathroom Remodeling in North Lauderdale, FL

Bathroom remodeling in North Lauderdale is mostly about family homes and the bathrooms that serve a lot of people. The city's 2020 median age was 33.8, and 43.8% of households had children under 18. In a house like that, one or two bathrooms get used from early morning to late at night, and durability and smart layout matter more than anything else.

The City of Tomorrow, fifty years on

North Lauderdale was incorporated on July 10, 1963, on land that had been grazing pasture for the Anderson Dairy Farm and fields of the Lena Lyons Stringbean Farm. Architect Morris Lapidus laid out the city, his first, and it became known as "The City of Tomorrow." A ten-year building boom in the 1970s followed, driven by demand for affordable single-family homes. The population jumped from 1,213 in 1970 to 18,653 in 1980.

Those 1970s homes are now about fifty years old. If yours still has its original bathroom, expect things like a small vanity with little storage, tub surrounds that have been caulked many times, older shutoff valves and floor tile that has cracked or come loose. We see a remodel as the right time to fix what is behind the wall, not just what is on it.

Practical upgrades that last

For busy North Lauderdale households, we often suggest:

• Vanity replacement with more drawers, a solid-surface or quartz top and a faucet that is easy to clean
• Porcelain floor tile that handles water, wet towels and heavy traffic
• A tub with a tiled shower surround for homes with young kids, or a walk-in shower where adults are the main users
• New shutoff valves and supply lines while the walls and cabinets are open
• An exhaust fan vented outdoors to deal with steam from back-to-back showers
• Wall tile or panels with fewer grout lines for faster cleaning

Owners and landlords

About 60.1% of North Lauderdale homes are owner-occupied, according to Census figures, and the 2020 rental vacancy rate was only 4.6%. That means many homes are rentals. For landlords, we can quote a durable, easy-to-maintain bathroom that turns over between tenants with little fuss. For owners, we can help plan a remodel in phases, such as the vanity and floor now and the shower later, so the work fits a budget.

A dense city with tight streets

North Lauderdale covers about 4.6 square miles and had a 2020 density of more than 9,600 people per square mile. Parking and dumpster placement can take some planning on crowded blocks or in townhome communities. If your neighborhood has an association, let us know its rules and we will schedule around them.

Climate and permits

The city has a tropical climate, and humid air is constant. Every new shower we build gets proper waterproofing behind the tile. Plumbing, electrical and wall changes usually require city permits and inspections, and we confirm the requirements for your project with North Lauderdale before starting.

Everything we do

Full bathroom remodels, tub-to-shower conversions, walk-in showers, vanity replacement, accessible and aging-in-place bathrooms, and bathroom tile and flooring.
